Iran admits to falsification of first "quantum processor"

CTOnews.com, July 1, Iran's "quantum processor" scandal has become an international joke. The vice president of Imam Khomeini International University issued an apology today, admitting that the so-called quantum processor motherboard is actually an FPGA motherboard.

The university had previously claimed to have launched the first product using quantum processing algorithms, but the motherboard was actually a ZedBoard Zynq-7000 development motherboard with only 256MB storage, 512MB DDR3 memory and dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Major General Habib Bora Sayari, Iran's deputy military coordinator and former navy commander, announced last week that he had launched his first "quantum processor" and demonstrated a development motherboard for the processor.
